As News.com.au reports, Television New Zealand (TVNZ) was accused of violating Ardern’s privacy following a press conference where she announced a ban on plastic bags. After her address, the new mother took her 8-week-old baby, Neve, to the back of the hall and appeared to begin nursing. A cameraperson for the broadcaster’s 1News channel captured the mother-daughter moment, and the footage was shared online — with the infant highlighted in a circle.

“Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was discussing the issue of single-use plastic bags, and that should have been our focus,” a TVNZ spokeswoman said in a statement to media outlets. “We accept the criticism. We got it wrong.”

Kristina Paterson, founder of the Mothers Helpers support group, told the New Zealand Herald that the footage amounted to a “violation of privacy.”

“Any filming of the prime minister with her baby should be only at the prime minister’s expressed consent,” Paterson said.
